Earlier in the day, Twitter dispatches showed a violent scene with protesters wielding shields, sticks and flags in massive scuffles that left people bloodied. The rally was planned for noon, but police issued an order to disperse before it started.

There were also reports of urine being tossed at reporters and the air was said to be filled with pepper spray, mace and tear gas.
